Embark on the Aberfoyle and Loch Venachar loop for a diverse mountain biking experience through Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. This moderate route spans 15.4 miles (24.7 km) and includes a total elevation gain of 1556 feet (474 metres). You can expect to complete the ride in about 2 hours and 22 minutes, enjoying varied terrain from smooth forestry tracks to undulating trails with excellent views across Loch Venachar towards the Menteith Hills.
When planning your visit, be aware that the trail features a mix of gravel double and singletrack, alongside forestry roads. Some unpaved sections can become quite boggy and more challenging, especially after rain, so check conditions before you go. If you need equipment, bike hire is available from local centers near Loch Venachar, making it easy to get started on your adventure.
This loop offers a unique contrast between its two halves, with the southern side providing smoother riding on minor roads and forestry tracks. The northern section, following parts of the Great Trossachs Path, delivers more dynamic riding and offers distant views of Ben A'an's striking summit pyramid. It's a great way to explore the varied landscapes and scenic beauty of the Trossachs.
